The Building Press Mp3s and CDs for sale in Merchandise section The Building Press stands alone in Seattle. No one else plays music there like this, or even a remote approximation of their new material. Frankly, The Building Press of today sounds less and less like The Building Press of yesterday, one that released a fine record on Seattle's Woodson Lateral label before getting signed to 54º40' or Fight!. Young Money is a dark record, one whose sonic texture and songwriting represents a radical departure from their previous full-length, Amplitudes of Frequencies Over Time. Vocals are present on every song, which will surprise those who missed Their sixty or so shows last year where the trio honed their new material. Whereas Amplitudes was almost exclusively vocal-free, guitarist A.P. Schroder Sounds like a drunken lounge singer up for a week on crank. Eric Junge, formerly of the now-defunct prog-visionaries Vermilion, has supplanted Jim Acquavella. Jeff Woodke_s basslines have taken on a lust-driven, sultry quality to them that lends itself to the sexual nature of the music. Nothing overt or distasteful, mind you (Robert Plant’s vocalized orgasms have no place within these walls), but lest we forget, sex is at the root of rock & roll. Just don’t expect The Building Press to be pouting for the camera in a blue Jeans commercial; being described as US Maple misinterpreting early-June of '44 at The Fall’s press conference is no way to land one’s self in a Gap ad. So c’mon. Have some ugly with your beauty.
